Turek, Maxine Augusta Fredericka

Our beloved cousin passed away on Friday, December 30, 2022 at New Hope Valley Assisted Living in Saginaw. She was 99 years old. Maxine Augusta Fredericka Gernenz was born on January 15, 1923 in Saginaw, Michigan to the late Adolph and Helen (Meyer) Gernenz. She Graduated from Arthur Hill in 1941. She married Edward “Milton” Turek in 1952 in Saginaw, Michigan. Maxine was employed by Lawyer’s Title Insurance Corporation as a clerk, retiring 1993 after many years of service. Maxine affectionately referred to herself as fat and sassy.

Maxine was an avid reader. She also enjoyed collecting cookbooks, shopping, traveling, and knitting. But, what Maxine really loved most was spending time with her family.
